Ready, Set.....Go!

As part of our "Get the House Ready!" campaign, the Bowers men
 and our contractor friend Dave spent several days working on the roof.

Sometimes one simply must burst into song. Thankfully instruments were handy. :)

Beautiful day on the beautiful roof!

Campbell was assigned touch ups on the inside of the pantry and did a fantastic job!

Charlie is ever dedicated to making sure we all get protein, protein, protein!

He found a great deal at the discount store and hauled 'em home for fuel.  

 Our friend Aaron is a Sunday favorite.
Happy little campers on the way home from church.

Our friend Wyatt. Too much fun. :)


Fridge Day. Every Monday. Everything Out. Thank you, Chapman! :)

Daddy says you can never have to much butter!

Our own Butter, who loves the haystack.

Thankful for Bowers Brothers loading skills. Perhaps they'll start a moving company. :)

Bus Washing 101 by Carver. What in the world does this have to do with packing? Pure therapy.

We didn't mean to put Crosby on Pest Control. Oh dear.

Late afternoon walk in nearby fields. Beautiful rolling hills.

Our little road home. Remember when I had to spot the silo to find it? :)

Birthday dinner at Carson and Carolina's sweet little home.

 Crockett's cliff hanging, epic films star his highly dramatic siblings.  

Sharing his latest edits. :)

Wrestling with Carson in the loft! Very fun. 

Getting in enough Carolina hugs to last a few months.

 Surprise birthday breakfast for Charlie with the brothers and some great friends.

 Singing "What a Day That Will Be" on our last Sunday at our wonderful church.


Lunch for one. Ha. :)

I think we would very MUCH like to stop improving?!
Let's just say we have a few of these boxes. :)


It appears we're after all the mice in Iowa!

And off we GO!
First part of the caravan headed out while several stayed to finish odds and ends.
(Still waiting on the grass to get green. Kinda like watching the paint dry. Hmmm.)

Crosby had a great power nap and we listened to Lamplighter Theatre.

Loving children recognize the importance of dark chocolate while traveling.

"You have reached your destination!" 

Yay! Let the unpacking begin!!

More pictures on the way as soon as we make our mess look prettier. Ha. :)

Praise the Lord for safe travels, for a beautiful place to be this year 

and for our truly blessed season in Iowa. 

We would love your prayers for healing in Daddy's lungs. 

Happy Springtime from the Bowers Clan in Alabama!
